1. You can have your domain registered with a different company than who provides your hosting, you just need to set your nameserver settings with your domain host to point to your web host. Your web host should be able to tell you what the DNS settings should be.

2. Domain registration is very competitive - it%26#039;s highly unlikely that your rate will increase very much, since you will probably constantly get offers from competing companies to switch. It%26#039;s relatively easy to switch who your domain is registered with - and it%26#039;s even easier to change your hosting provider.

Once you register a domain name, it is yours until the time it expires or you reregister it again. Once you have the name, you can then host it on any server you want. Just make sure it is a legit server and offers all the features you are going to need. Sometimes the cheaper server, is not always the best.

1) If you register it with one company, yes you can host it elsewhere. Your registrar will, in one way or another, allow you to change the settings on the nameservers to %26quot;point%26quot; your domain name to a specific server.

2) It is likely that you will pay the same price- but do be careful. Yahoo! charges a lot if you don%26#039;t pay attention- I accidentally paid $35 a year twice! You can change it, as I just did, pretty easily. iPowerweb is who I use, although godaddy is good, as are many others. iPowerweb only charges $6.50 for domain registration, and I have one hosting account that actually hosts all three of my domain names.
